Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
-
Not to be outdone by its irrepressible Ivy League neighbor, MIT has been the country’s leading technical university since its founding in 1861. This school of improbable theorems and calculator-toting world shapers offers many places of interest. Its List Visual Arts Center exhibits work that comments on technology or employs it in fresh, surprising ways. Also of note is the MIT Museum, which engages visitors with interactive exhibits on artificial intelligence, holography, and the world’s first computers.
